New to the forum and first-time poster!
Currently trying to confirm what the top meter (circled) in the photos supplies? To me, it seems the meter tails enter the connector block and then there are two outputs coming from the block - one to the top isolation switch and one to the lower...

Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well in these trying times.
I'm planning an extension to my house, and I'm looking to have a second consumer board fitted inside the extension. I'm hoping I can feed this new board from the meter box and not as a sub-board from the original consumer unit...

Hi all after some advice with my meter reading.

Hi,
I recently just bought a new build home from Cala homes. Regarding the handover electric meter reading, instead of taking the smart meter reading using the figures on the lcd screen, or following the British Gas website instructions for taking a smart meter reading "total import". Cala...

Water main earth bonding was connected in with the existing gas bonding's pipe clamp on the outlet pipework of the gas meter inside the meter box, then taken through the backplate of the gas meter box, then goes along behind the units to the water...

Well, I'm faced with a real botch job of a consumer unit. Essentially this is a "new" consumer unit only put in a couple of years ago by a friend of the clients family who was apparently an electrician. However the unit they bought (a Niglon) had the main...

Check Condition of Meter Cabinet
